=PERSSE, CECIL DE BURGH=, Lieut., 7th (Princess Royal’s) Dragoon
Guards (attd. Irish Guards), 4th and yst. _s._ of the late Henry
Sadleir Persse, of Glenarde and Kiltullagh, co. Galway, J.P., by his
wife, Eleanor Alice, dau. of Col. Thomas Seymour, of Ballymore Castle,
co. Galway, J.P.; _b._ 17 July, 1875; educ. Cheltenham College
and Trinity College, Cambridge, from which he took his degree. In
the South African War (1899–1902) he served with the Warwickshire
Imperial Yeomanry, and took part in the operations in the various
Colonies, later receiving a commission in the 7th Dragoon Guards. For
these services he received the Queen’s medal with three clasps, and
the King’s medal with two clasps. When the Boer War was concluded
he settled down in Government employment for a while. He received a
commission in the Reserve of Officers of the 7th Dragoon Guards, 10
April, 1912, and on the outbreak of the European War rejoined his
old regt. but as the infantry regts. were more in need of officers
than the cavalry, he volunteered to exchange into the infantry, and
was transferred to the Irish Guards, served with them in France and
Flanders, and was seriously wounded in the head, in action in Flanders,
18 May, 1915. He was brought home to Netley Hospital, and seemed at
first to be making satisfactory progress towards recovery, but some
weeks later it was necessary to perform an operation; blood poisoning
afterwards supervened and he died there on Monday 19 July; _unm._
He was buried in the Hospital Cemetery.

=PERSSÉ, RODOLPH ALGERNON=, 2nd Lieut., Reserve Battn. The Rifle
Brigade, attd. 2nd Battn. King’s Royal Rifle Corps, only _s._ of

his wife, the Hon. Eleanor Laura Jane, née Gough (Creg Clare, Ardrahan,
co. Galway), only surv. dau. of George Stephens, 2nd Viscount Gough;
and grandson of the late Dudley Perssé, of Roxborough, co. Galway.
D.L.; _b._ Roxborough, aforesaid, 12 May, 1892; educ. Eton and
Magdalen College, Oxford, where he had just completed his second year
when war broke out; obtained a commission in the Rifle Brigade, 26 Aug.
1914, joining the Reserve Battn. at Sheerness; went to France, 16 Oct.;
was there attd. to the 2nd Battn. King’s Royal Rifle Corps, and was
killed in action at Cuinchy, 1 Jan. following, during a night attack;
_unm._ Buried there. He was mentioned in F.M. Sir John (now Lord)
French’s Despatch of 14 Jan. 1915. His commanding officer wrote: “He
had taken his platoon to attack a position early on the morning of 1
Jan., and after the position was taken it was found to be untenable,
and the whole force was ordered back to their trenches. It was here
that poor Perssé was killed. He was an exceptionally gallant boy, and
we shall miss him very much. I had already submitted his name for his
gallant behaviour near Ypres.” A brother officer also wrote: “What a
splendid, brave, cool officer he was, he never flinched or wavered in
his most gallant spirit, and his absolute fearlessness and pluck were
grand, and were of the greatest value to his men. He will, indeed,
be sadly missed, for he made himself so popular with all ranks”; and
another: “He was without exception the bravest officer I have ever
seen, and the best. His men would do anything for him. This is not
only my own opinion, for I know that it was shared by every officer
in the mess.” He was a fine all-round athlete and a first-rate shot.
He played in the Eton eleven in July, 1911. At Oxford he did well in
the Freshmen’s sports of 1913; won the Magdalen Grind; rode in the
Intervarsity Point-to-Point, and was whip to the Magdalen Beagles.
The President of Magdalen wrote of him: “He is indeed a loss to us
here, young and old. Among the first and bravest, he has given his
all, even himself. His bright, vivid, daring, high-spirited chivalrous
personality had endeared him to us all.”

=PETO, CLEMENT HENRY=, Capt., 10th (Prince of Wales’s Own Royal)
Hussars, 4th and yst. _s._ of William Herbert Peto, of Dunkinty,
Elgin, by his wife, Kate, dau. of Sir Robert Palmer Harding, and
grandson of the late Sir Samuel Morton Peto, 1st Bart.; _b._
London, 8 July, 1884; educ. Harrow and Sandhurst; received his

Oct. 1905, and Capt. 17 Sept. 1910, passing the same year the Musketry
Course at Changli Sali, also in Telephony and Hindustani, L.S. Pt. II.
He served with his regt. in France and Flanders, and was killed in
action while in command of C Squadron at the First Battle of Ypres,
17 Nov. 1914. The Germans had made a strong attack and he had allowed
them to come within five yards of his trench, before giving the order
to fire. He then led his Squadron in pursuit of the retreating enemy
and was shot through the head by a sniper. The Colonel of his regt.
wrote: “There was no better soldier in the Army or a better fellow than
your son. Personally I was very fond of him and so was everyone in the
regiment, whether officers or men. All the time he was under me I have
never known him cavel, or grumble, at any order, however unpleasant.”
The officer commanding the regt. on the 17 Nov. wrote that he met his
death commanding his own Squadron which he had trained so well in South
Africa, in repelling a fierce attack of the Germans which his Squadron
repulsed with heavy loss. Private Sparks, 14th Hussars, wrote to the
“Kent Messenger,” 26 Dec. 1914. “We came under a very heavy shell and
rifle fire from a very short distance in front. Lord Alastair Innes Ker
carried me a long way and must have been almost exhausted when I saw
two officers jump out of the trench and run towards us. They dragged
me to the trench by the arms. Private Saintsbury, 13th Hussars, caught
me as they pushed me into the trench. One of them bound me up as well
as he was able in the dark and gave me a drink from his flask. The
officers were two brothers, Capt. C. and Lieut. K. Peto, 10th Hussars.
Capt. C. Peto, I am sorry to say, has since been killed in the great
attack on Ypres. He was a very brave officer. “He was mentioned in
F.M. Sir John (now Lord) French’s Despatch of 14 Jan. 1915 [London
Gazette, 17 Feb. 1915], for gallant and distinguished service in the
field. Capt. Peto was a great hunter and travelled from India through
Kashmir and Turkestan to Siberia, accompanied only by natives, and shot
splendid specimens of ovis ammion, ovis poli (51½ inches), markhor,
ibex, barasingh, etc. He also shot lions in Northern Rhodesia; and rode
many winners in regimental races at Rawal Pindi and Mhow (Winning Post,
12 Dec. 1914).” He was _unm._, and was buried in Ypres Cemetery.

They made a gallant stand and retired fighting for three hours. His
Capt., who was taken prisoner, wrote: “I ordered a charge, and the
company dashed forward, ‘Dicky’ well in front of the right half. We
were met by a blasting fire, and numbers of the men fell. He got within
30 yards of the enemy’s trench and there was shot dead, falling with
his head towards the enemy, 10 yards in front of his men. Only two men
besides myself reached the trench alive.” He was buried at Etreux, with

was no man in all the Artillery which is under my control belonging to
this force whom I would have selected before him for any duty which
called for all the highest personal qualifications of a soldier; it
was the same in India, if I wanted anything done, or tried. I always
knew that it could be in no better hands than his. As a most gallant
soldier and gentleman, a thorough sportsman, and a true friend, he will
be very deeply regretted by the regt.; and you will, I trust, forgive
me, a perfect stranger, for intruding on your grief to say how much we
shall all feel his loss. It would be selfish to express my own personal
sorrow, but I know that all the Artillery in India, as well as in this
force, would like you to feel how very deeply we sympathise with you in
your very great sorrow, and how much we shall all miss him, the best
type of Artillery officer and the finest example to the boys who were
fortunate enough to serve under him.” He was a keen and bold rider to
